About this map

Banner Springs and Roslin anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, situated at the edge of the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee. The area is defined by its network of headwaters and springs, notably Boiling Spring and the S Prong Clear Fork, which carve through the plateau. Small family settlements and dispersed cemeteries like Westfelt Cem and Smith Cem reflect a rural pattern of life that persists into the 21st century. To the south, the terrain becomes more dramatic as it drops toward the Obed Wild and Scenic River corridor, where the Clear Creek drainage creates deep relief such as Big Hollow. This modern survey documents the legacy of early homesteads through road names like Leamon Hall Rd and Virgil Beaty Rd, while showing how the landscape is managed through the Land of Lakes Catfish Farm Lake.
